500 Posts Giveaway!

I was reading on somebody's blog the other day that after 900 posts they still had stuff to talk about. I thought that was funny and I guess I am feeling the same way. I jumped right in and had no idea where I was going. I've sure had a fun time and met some wonderful people. I appreciate you leaving comments. It also lets me visit your blog as well. (if you have one)
Ready for a giveaway? I hope these are not too lame.

A repurposed little quilt from an antique top.

Another one just a little bit bigger.

I bought this book a year ago thinking I would make something from it. Nope, I think I have opened it twice.

I liked this book so much I have two on my shelf! New, never used!! (why do we do that?!)

OK, so to enter the giveaway please leave a comment. If you'd like to be a friend of Humble Quilts please click on the link at the upper right of the blog. It isn't necessary though to win.
Put in your comment what order you'd like to win. I will not take offense if you'd rather have the books then the little quilts.
I'll draw four winners Saturday night.

Congratulations on 500 posts! I always enjoy your blog. I really like your simple repurposed quilts. Your hand quilting looks lovely. The prints are interesting as well. I wonder what else was made with the fabric back when it was purchased - it has history :0)I hope you have 100's more posts and many, many more projects to share!

Oh, Lori, what beautiful little quilts. Actually, since I don't applique, machine or otherwise, and can't work with wool, the little quilts are all I would be interested in. Congrats on your 500th post. Looking forward to hundreds more!!

A little quilt for me. I have both books. I may not have the machine applique book still on the shelf but did have it. And I have bought the same book or pattern more than once. I don't know why we do that.Having a blog is so much fun. I never would have met you had it not been for blogging.

Lori, I'm sad I didn't do your pink lemonade - but I'll get in on the next one! It was so fun seeing others quilts! Any of your giveaways would be lovely. I love the quilts, and would like either of the books!

Congratulations on 500 posts! I have enjoyed being a part of your blog journey. As I am such a sucker for 2 tone quilts and black and whites are my fav, I would love the chance to win either of the 2 little quilts. Mind you, a book would be lovely too.

I am impressed with all you accomplish Lori, 500 posts that is an accomplishments. Your little repurposed quilt is a wonderful quilt to share! Look forward to seeing much more, maybe I will get to Pink Lemonade before too! I have both those books and have used the applique too, I love the tips as much as the quilts.

Love, love, love old quilts. I always have to rescue them when I come across them in flea markets! (I already have the two books) Just found your blog, and I love the photo of your dear jane quilt! A friend and I are just starting one! Wish us luck!

congratulations on your 500th post. I have been a follower for a while, and always find what you have to say interesting. The little quilts are lovely, great that you repurposed the fabric. Thanks for opportunity to win some of your treasures. I would love the machine applique book most of all

My choice would be the Cotton & Wool book first, the Applique book and either of the little quilts. They are all wonderful prizes! Thanks again and I look forward to your next 500 posts! ! !

And a great giveaway.....of course my first choice would be one of the little quilts....then the books! But they all look great! Thanks for having such a fun blog.....I always love all the beautiful work you do. Your Jane has been very inspiring, and one of these days I'm going to start doing something with wool! :o)

I'd love one of the little quilts to remember your 500th post. I just finished up a Pink Lemonade quilt today, although mine should be renamed a strawberry blueberry lemonade since it is yellow, red and blue. Thanks so much for the giveaway and for all that you share. Kathie L in allentown

I am a fellow Janiac. I very recently started my journey with Jane and sewed my first 4 blocks this week. Tomorrow I am tackling my first triangle block! So far, I am enjoying this incredible project! Congratulations!

Congratulations on so many posts, I've enjoyed them all. I'm about to start the Pink Lemonade quilt, but have a couple of things to finish first. I would love to have either one of the quilts, they are so sweet. Thanks very much for this wonderful giveaway.

Congratulations on your 500th post--so many lovely projects! I'd be thrilled to win anything at all--can't say I have a favorite, although I've never had a quilt I didn't make myself! Here's wishing for another 500+ posts for you! (and us)

Yours is one of the first blogs I read when it pops up in my reader. Have enjoyed following your DJ journey. A little quilt for me, or the machine applique book, I don't think any of your giveaways are lame, those quilts are just lovely.

I became a follower recently after spotting your blog through Kaaren at the Painted quilt. I would love to enter your giveaway for either of the little quilts. The books look lovely but others may use them more than I.

Congrats Lori. For me, it will be your mini first, then machine applique, I can't work with wool.I finished Pink Lemonade, but not any of my yellows are right, not other colours, so I used dark brown. At first I like it but when sewn...It seems like holes...I have to add perhaps little applique ! XXX

Congratulatons Lori on 500 posts. I love reading your blog and have just today finished the Pink Lemonade top. My very first QAL. Thanks for your wonderful pattern and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next on your great blog. :-)

Congrats on your 100th post. I have had to temporarily suspend my blog due to my Mac's new operating system not allowing me to post. DH promised he would get it resolved, but it's been months and so far, no luck. (of course, he hasn't started yet). HA

I'd love to win one of the little quilts, I think they are so sweet and love to think of the hands who made the antique quilts and of course, yours that re-made them.

Congrats on 500 posts! Recently started following due to fellow bloggers posting your Pink Lemonade QAL. Wonderful little quilt and blog. TY Your re purposed quilts are lovely and either book would be fun to play with. Thanks for the chance and a great give away. Looking forward to 500 more posts! Jo

Wow, 500 posts, and you still have fabric to sew! I doubt we will ever run out of things to post as long as we continue to quilt. I'd love one of your little repurposed pieces... yes, I've bought a book twice!

Congratulations on your 500th post. I just found your blog last summer and since I'm facinated with antique quilts I read your blog every day. Look forward to many more days of everything quilts. Thank you.

Hi Lori, I hope you will have a lot more things to blog about, for a long, long time. Thank you for the giveaway. I would like to win the book 'Quiltmaker's guide to fine machine applique.' Isn't that weird, buying the same book twice? I learned not to beat myself up over things like this. And just say: 'Guess I really like this book, since I ordered it twice.' :-)Esther, the Netherlands

Congratulations on 500 posts! I always enjoy reading your blog. Your Dear Jane quilt is wonderful - I can hardly wait to see it in person. I would choose: 1) wool book 2) applique book 3) little quilt 4) little quilt. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

Wow 500 posts. That is so great! One of my most treasured quilts is a little red and white 9 patch my sis gave me. I think of her every time I look at it. Small quilts are great to display especially when you don't have space for larger quilts. I enjoy reading your blog and thank you for the chance to win one of your giveaways!

Hi Lori, you are not only incredibly talented but generous too. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your give-away. I enjoy your blogs very much. I tend to read every few weeks to catch-up. I love the work that you do and how much you accomplish. The order that I would prefer if I should win - the smallest quilt, the bigger quilt, the Cotton & Wool book, and I have the other book. Thanks again!

Congratulations on your 500th post!!Your blog is one of my absolute favourites so I look forward to many more posts! I'd love to enter your giveaway. The machine applique book has been on my wish list for a long time and I also love your little quilts. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

You are going to inspire me to do a little give away. Congrats to making it to 500. That rocks. I'll be after one of the little quilts if I win, which I never do, so not to worry. Love LOVE love your blog though. Keep up the awesome work.

Congratulations on your 500th post! I am so happy I found your blog (I read about this on the Painted Quilter's blog). The little quilts are so cute - I am surprised to see an old quilt in black and white - that seems unusual.

Thanks for the giveaway. I love the little quilt as I keep saying I am going to make quilts for my doll beds, but haven't done it, yet. The book on Machine Applique would be great, also. Please enter me.
